What to ask when trying to join early stage startups? (I will not promote)
I am in final stage of interviews with an early stage startup which says that they have raised Series A but I don't see any blog post / linkedin post / anywhere which can prove that the company has raised money.
They have agreed to pay handsomely but I am just not sure if they actually have that much money.
What if I end up joining and get stuck because the company is low on funds.
The product looks decent so I assume its likely that they might have the funding but I want to be sure and not just in terms of funding but also trying to find out from the sub here on what all things I should be asking before accepting the offer?
Also I have heard from few people about asking different things about ESOPs to ensure that its useful later or I might get scammed in that.
Can someone who has experience with startups help here with what should I be asking the CEO before joining?
